Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • Your wedding will be an adventure. Host your reception in one of their beautiful spaces, and your guests will have the unforgettable experience of celebrating among elephants and dinosaurs and exploring fascinating exhibitions.
  • Dine under the largest dinosaur ever discovered! Unveiled in 2018 in Stanley Field Hall, the 122-foot-long, two-story tall titanosaur makes any event one-of-a-kind, but it's also flanked by life-size replicas of giant flying reptiles.
  • You'll love the variety of unique settings, from the architecturally elegant East Atrium Pavilion to the skylit atrium, which is perfect for cocktails. And why not surprise your guests with the stunning collection of dioramas in the Hall of Asian Mammals or the world-famous Man Eating Lions of Tsavo in Rice Hall!
